HOUSE GUESTS

HOUSE SITTERS PRESENTATION #1

I would like you to meet our relatives from Transylvania...We are soo excited to have them here..Agatha and Andrew and the twins Hattie and Hugo will be house sitting for a few weeks...and doing a little entertaining of some very famous friends....But today it's all about the pool and some rest and relaxation for their tired weary bones...

The twins sure love the water..".Agatha keep an eye on the twins"...they may not float...There goes Hugo, he thinks he is a fish...

 We could stay out here all day....

This really is the life honey but we are getting a little hungry....it feels like we haven't eaten in years...

I get the message, I will run and make us some lunch...I think I am starting to stiffen up from sitting in this chair....

Yay we are starved...I think I am getting dizzy....

I'm going I'm going..."stop pushing your sister"

 We are also watching Tina, isn't she the fatest cat you have ever seen, where we come from,she would not last long at all,  you would never see anything like this....with meat and fur all over it walking around, un heard of.....I guess that's why we love to travel to see the different cultures, this family lets the food live in the house and walk around...incredible...

 What will I make for their lunch, hummm maybe some critter bone pasta, with some tasty garden snakes for some protein...ah yes..

 Yes Pasta, doesn't that sound  delish..

It's all in the spices, that's what makes the difference....of course I will give you the recipe

2 cups of grasshopper legs

2 cups of june bug shells

1 tsp dried cockroaches

1 tbsp green grubs

1/2 cup house spiders

1/2 cup garter snakes

add to this a little white wine and stir...enjoy

Grasshopper legs and june bug shells are a huge part of this dish, that's all I can tell you, there are a few other spices I have left out because it is a cherished family recipe passed down thru the generations...if my relatives knew I shared this much they would skin me alive......

I just love this kitchen,  the wonderful touches she has added, can you believe she even has our relatives pictures up on the wall to make us feel at home, how thoughtful.  Like the picture behind me...

This is Aunt Addie and Uncle Arthur with Lily and baby Taluth and the dog Dawgh...

Back to the pasta...I must tell you in the weeks to come I will be doing some entertaining and cooking for some out of town guests the Count and Countess Bovier will be joining us for a cocktail party with some fabulous  Hord'oeurves....then a wonderful gourmet dinner party....I can't wait, I will probably need an actual chef hat for all the cooking I will be doing... 

  You won't be seeing any cobwebs and dusty dirty settings and no spider webs, I always clean up after them..they are fast though and if you are not careful they are everywhere....not in this post,not yet anyway, just because we are from Transylvania doesn't mean we are not tidy, Andrew is a stickler on that for sure...We are from the upper east side of Transylvania...that kind of living will just not be tolerated...

 Phyllis made this apron for me before she left, she said she purchased a large tablecloth at Marshals for 12.00 and made this apron, a table runner and 4 napkins out of that one piece, now that's what I call creative, the pattern is one of my favorites....

 This has been such a fun afternoon, swimming and cooking and just hanging out in the warm sunshine...I wish the Count and Countess were here now to have some of this pasta....

 Everyone likes to be in on  the cooking...it's hard to keep these little rascals in the pot....he he he

 Well I better get this dish plated up for the gang, I can hear them out there, and they sound hungry..

 nom nom nom nom ...I knew they would love this...

 Slow down sweetie, you will choke yourself....

 Yummy mommy, this is our favorite dish....

 oh no here it comes back out....

 I am doing it right mom....

 Close your mouth when you chew sweetie...you know if you don't the critters will just crawl back out and you know how you hate that...

Well it is their nap time, they are tired and full of lunch....I will have plenty of time for some reading...

Good bye for now, Please come back again in a few days I will be preparing the food for the cocktail party and you can help me select which items to serve...I brought my 100 year old family cookbook passed down from my family when they used to have the huge gatherings in the grave yard and anyone who was anyone would attend...Oh the stories they tell of the dark and scary galas, the book is truly fascinating....I will need your help for the big event....

Thank you for stopping in, it was so nice to meet you, please leave a comment so I can find you and come for a visit, I love reading all the wonderful posts...   I will be taking over for Phyllis for the next few weeks and I can't wait to come over and meet all of you, I have heard wonderful things about you all...Agatha   thestylesisters   frommyfrontporchtoyours
